    Today the Aunt Jemima was retired. What's next? Famous Amos cookies? Will black actors not allowed to be injured or killed in movies/TV shows? Will chimpanzees be removed from zoos because their captivity is symbolic of black slavery? Will fast food chains like Popeyes and KFC be forced to close?
    None of those things will happen.

    1. Aunt Jemima (and Log Cabin) aren't maple syrup. They're high fructose corn syrup with artificial maple flavor.

    2. I don't buy any of that stuff. It's oversweet, gross, and sickly unhealthy.

    3. trading two hundred dollar bills (Mack+Cooper) for a bag of quarters
    So you’re upset about the name change of a syrup that you never even buy or use?

    Have you not seen the rampant cases of people wanting to marry their dogs and siblings after gay marriage was legalized?

    It's the concept, not whether or not it's specifically relevant to me. Aunt Jemima has been an American tradition for over a century. The concept of the hipster Left making radical changes for no good reason.

    Similar thing regarding the Redskins, if they ever change their name to appease the New Left, I'm officially done with the NFL, even as a Cowboys fan. Do I really want to watch my team beat up on the Flamingos twice per year...?... nope.

    This isn’t the “hipster left.” No one was talking about Aunt Jemima, PepsiCo voluntarily decided to change the branding of one of its subsidiary products. Are you saying the government should interfere with our free market economy and dictate how a company is required to brand its products?

    somehow food will no longer be fried. KFC and Popeyes were started by white guys and represented by white guys in marketing for decades so I don't even know what the argument there is.

    This is nothing more than a marketing gimmick by a company to get attention that might lead to a a short term boost to sales. No one ITT was even thinking about Aunt Jemima syrup and now you all are.

    Hopefully the inevitable conservative boycott of PepsiCo products will work better than the Keurig boycott, Nike boycott and Netflix boycott did
    What is Trumpworld triggered at Pepsi over?

    Aunt Jemima is a Quaker Oats brandand Quaker Oats is owner by Pepsi, so I’m just assuming the snowflakes will boycott all Pepsi products

    That would be awesome, less Boomer beetus, lower healthcare costs. Win/win.

    Yeah except it’s not gonna happen. They couldn’t successfully boycott Nike, Keurig or Netflix, they definitely won’t be able to boycott the sugary food products that they ride around in their Rascal Scooter at the grocery store anxious to buy.

    It's an interesting story. I remember when Aunt Jemima was updated from the mammy stereotype to basically Natalie Cole. I thought that was a pretty positive change and adequate, but I can understand the rotten core argument.

    There are some overcorrections in corporate America but I'm OK with the effort overall. I don't think there was any reason to pull Gone with the Wind from HBO Max, for example. It just needs some TCM-style context like when they screen obviously racist but still significant films like Birth of a Nation. Just odd to nix the first black Oscar Winner for any amount of time.

    I can empathize with you, fam. White people have had to put up with racism as well and enough is enough. I am in full support of changing the Cracker Barrell franchise name.

    The hipster left pressured Pepsi/Quaker to do so, and they kow towed. That's the problem. The corporatocracy, Drew Brees, GWB, JJ Watt etc getting brainwashed by the far left due to peer pressure.

    Meh. Only product I've ever liked of theirs is Quaker Old Fashioned Oatmeal, and I haven't eaten it in several years. Taco Bell and Pizza Hut are both disgusting and KFC is way overpriced. Also, Coke >>>>>>>>> Pepsi.

    Grab a Coke and a nice Chick Fil-A, my friends.

    Just because the 30% has outsized power in our federal government doesn't mean you guys will get catered to everywhere else. There is no electoral college equivalent at the grocery store to make a Wyoming shopper worth more than a California shopper to the company.

    the thing is, i'm not entirely convinced that you know this isn't real

    but to the point, i was told that gay marriage was actually going to lead to that
